INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VIDEO COMPOSITING - Certain interactive role performance systems and methods are disclosed that allow users to select a role to play in a prerecorded video, such as a movie scene, and to replace an original actor of that role with the user's performance. In certain examples, the user selects a prerecorded scene from which a character has been removed and records his or her performance. The interactive role performance system can insert the user's performance in place of the original character, thereby creating the appearance that the user is interacting, such as in real-time, with the other characters in the movie scene. Moreover, systems and methods can further utilize background subtraction techniques to isolate the user image. In further examples, the recorded user performance is stored separately from the prerecorded video.

In some examples, the content preparation system removes an original character from the selected media content and recreates the background to enable an image of a user to be inserted therein. By recreating the background after removing the character, the user is given greater freedom to perform, as the image of the user can perform anywhere within the scene. Moreover, systems and methods can generate and store metadata associated with the modified media content that facilitates the combining of the modified media content and the user image to replace the removed character image.

Production of Radionuclide Molybdenum 99 in a Distributed and In Situ Fashion - A method and apparatus for producing Mo-99 from Mo-100 for the use of the produced Mo-99 in a Tc-99m generator without the use of uranium is presented. Both the method and apparatus employ high energy gamma rays for the transformation of Mo-100 to Mo-99. The high energy gamma rays are produced by exposing a metal target to a moderated neutron output of between 6 MeV and 14 MeV. The resulting Mo-99 spontaneously decays into Tc-99m and can therefore be used in a Tc-99m generator.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING AND EMPLOYING SHORT LENGTH IRIS CODES - A system and method for generating compact iris representations based on a database of iris images includes providing full-length iris codes for iris images in a database, where the full-length iris code includes a plurality of portions corresponding to circumferential rings in an associated iris image. Genuine and imposter score distributions are computed for the full-length iris codes, and code portions are identified that have a contribution that provides separation between imposter and genuine distributions relative to a threshold. A correlation between remaining code portions is measured. A subset of code portions having low correlations within the subset is generated to produce a compact iris representation.

INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VIDEO COMPOSITING - Certain interactive role performance systems and methods are disclosed that allow users to select a role to play in a prerecorded video, such as a movie scene, and to replace an original actor of that role with the user's performance. In certain examples, the user selects a prerecorded scene from which a character has been removed and records his or her performance. The interactive role performance system can insert the user's performance in place of the original character, thereby creating the appearance that the user is interacting, such as in real-time, with the other characters in the movie scene. Moreover, systems and methods can further utilize background subtraction techniques to isolate the user image. In further examples, the recorded user performance is stored separately from the prerecorded video.

By recreating the background after removing the character, the user is given greater freedom to perform, as the image of the user can perform anywhere within the scene. Moreover, systems and methods can generate and store metadata associated with the modified media content that facilitates the combining of the modified media content and the user image to replace the removed character image.

DIGITAL PLL WITH KNOWN NOISE SOURCE AND KNOWN LOOP BANDWIDTH - A phase locked loop (PLL) based frequency translator provides a divider augmented with a sigma delta modulator (SDM) in a reference path. The PLL is configured as an all digital PLL and includes a bang-bang phase frequency detector, digital loop filter, and digitally-controlled oscillator. The frequency translator is located in either the reference clock path for division or the PLL feedback loop path for multiplication. The SDM produces a predictable noise characteristic set with known stochastic properties which can be used to smooth any discontinuity in the bang-bang phase frequency detector. The predictable noise of the SDM will produce a dithering delay that eliminates any hard discontinuities. This allows for a bang-bang phase frequency detector based digital PLL.

EXACT FREQUENCY TRANSLATION USING DUAL CASCADED SIGMA-DELTA MODULATOR CONTROLLED PHASE LOCK LOOPS - A PLL-based frequency translator provides a divider augmented with a sigma delta modulator (SDM) in a reference path. The system may include two primary functional blocks—an input PLL with its reference path containing an integer divider coupled with a SDM (a fractional frequency divider), and an output PLL with its feedback path containing an integer divider coupled with a SDM (a fractional frequency multiplier). The combination of an integer divider and an SDM yields a fractional divider that divides by N+F/M, where N is the integer portion of the division and F/M is the fractional portion of the division, with M denoting the fractional modulus. Furthermore, since it is desirable to have programmable division factors, it is beneficial to define N, F and M as integers as this simplifies a programming interface when the frequency translator is manufactured as an integrated circuit.

MULTIPLE INPUT PLL WITH HITLESS SWITCHOVER BETWEEN NON-INTEGER RELATED INPUT FREQUENCIES - A multi-branch frequency translation system converts a plurality of independent input clocks to a common frequency. One of the converted clock signals is selected as a dominant clock. The remaining converted clock signals are edge-synchronized with the dominant clock. When the system selects another converted clock signal for use as the dominant clock, the newly selected signal already is edge-synchronized with the dominant clock and, therefore, switchover losses can be avoided. The dominant clock can be subject of further frequency translation processes and output from the system.

SYMMETRY CORRECTED HIGH FREQUENCY DIGITAL DIVIDER - A clock frequency divider for odd numbered divide ratios. The divider clocks two counters in parallel from a reference clock to be divided. One counter is loaded with the divide ratio and the other counter is loaded with the divide ratio except for the least significant bit. The second counter will set a latch when its count has elapsed. The first counter will reset the latch when its count has elapsed and will reload the counters. The latch is used for the divided output, but passes through a retiming circuit. The retiming circuit delays the output edge by one reference clock edge when the least significant bit indicates an odd numbered divide ratio.

Method and apparatus for sealing a glass package - An apparatus for sealing a glass package by applying a force to a glass assembly while simultaneously irradiating a sealing material disposed between the two glass substrates with a beam of radiation. The applied force is translated in unison with the radiation beam. The radiation cures and/or melts the sealing material, depending upon the sealing material. The applied force beneficially improves contact between the glass substrates and the sealing material during the sealing process, therefore assisting in achieving a hermetic seal between the substrates.

Method for sealing an electronic device - A method for sealing an electronic device, such as an OLED display device or a photovoltaic device. An assembly comprising first and second substantially planar substrates with an electronic component disposed therebetween and encircled by a sealing material such as a glass frit is placed on a support plate. A pressure plate is positioned over the assembly. Electromagnets disposed in the support plate are activated by flowing a current through the electromagnets, and the magnetic force developed by the electromagnets draws the pressure plate toward the support plate, thereby applying a force against the assembly. The sealing material (e.g. glass frit) may be irradiated by an irradiation source, such as a laser, thereby forming a hermetic seal between the first and second substrates.
